Overview

About

Maintained by Bernd PanassitiCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Using a simulation-based approach, the 'HostSwitch' package provides functions to investigate host switches by consumers. The individual-based model is based on the concept of ecological fitting. The mockup model is published by Araujo et al. 2015. Understanding Host-Switching by Ecological Fitting (doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0139225). The package provides an R-friendly and modified version of this model which can be applied to different consumer-resource scenarios.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/HostSwitch/HostSwitch_0.1.3.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "HostSwitch_0.1.3.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.3) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("berndpanassiti/HostSwitch")

Development version from berndpanassiti/HostSwitch. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
